Jared Downs's Passions

So I've had the Nuun All-Day tablets.

From a performance perspective are great. I've used them when I'm pouring sweat and losing all the good stuff while hiking in Moab or while sweating buckets in the Sawtooths. How I feel when taking these is a noticeable difference as compared to when I don't have an Electrolyte supplement.

Taste: My taste buds have declared war against the Tangerine-Lime flavor. It's like that time in college when your friend handed you this awful mix drink, but you had to endure.

Finally got the chance to use this on a few climbs the other day. Was interested to see how secure it would be on my head.

I had this on top of my helmet. Rather than using a sticky mount and attaching to my helmet that way, I opted to just use this strap. I hate those mounts and the fact that you ruin them once you pull them off.

Adjustability: I mounted the head strap on my head and everything was great, but once I got on the wall it was til to put my brain bucket on, so I mounted the head strap over it.

Stability: I never felt it rocking all around as I went up, down and side to side.

I've got these bad larry's stashed all over the place. Perfect amount of food for when I'm in a pinch or run out of my regular food. I've got these stashed in all my packs so I always have at least some sort of food on me whether I am hiking, snowboarding, climbing, snowshoeing... you name it.

20g's of protein in each bar and they taste great; I don't think I know of another protein bar that can make both those claims (even though I did it for them!)
